The NRWL has returned from our short break with a great evening of matches. This time around, NRWL stars took part in a "lethal lottery" where matches and participants were selected by a random drawing. In the special Fatal 4-Way main event, four of the biggest names duked it out to determine a number one contender.
After each drawing, participants shared their reactions with Jay Phillips. We have provided them before the results of each match for your enjoyment.
